Did I miss somthing? a new skyline? Ok... so i was leaving school and i saw this car that looked exactly like a g35 coupe, but it didn't have any badging except for the nissan logo and skyline in the rear panel... looked legit, like a real car.
now i remember a couple years ago i worked for a nissan testing plant and i remembering seeing prototypes for these... looked exactly like a g35 except it said Skyline on the back.
did these get released or what?? I tried to get the guy to run, but i couldn't get him to **** around.
anyone?

If it looked EXACTLY like a G35, then it probably was and someone just put the JDM badges on it. The G35 IS the Skyline in Japan. Skyline is just a model name like Lancer, meaning there are "plain" Skylines over there that aren't AWD and turbo etc. Like the Lancer - there is the base model FWD one, then there is the Lancer Evo which is an entirely different car.

The new Skyline Coupe has been designed and engineered around the product concept of "stylish design and performance," representing the two attributes that were given precedence over all other aspects in the development of this premium sports coupe.
The car was launched earlier in North America last November as the Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe, which has been enthusiastically received with high accolades. The Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe and the Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan were selected by Motor Trend magazine as the "2003 Car of the Year," one of the most prestigious auto awards given in North America.

Yeah, SCC did a feature on it. It should be a nice competitor in its price range. It wont put down the power of a Z06, but it should be a great way to **** off the Euro-snobs. And the idea of the VQ finnaly coming out with a turbo stock is nice. 450HP would be pretty low boost for a VQ35. Stupid 91 octane.
